Update: measures to combat coronavirus extended

Update: 22 April 2020

The cabinet announced their decision to extend current measures to combat the coronavirus. In line with these measures, The Hague International Centre will keep to its revised services till 19 May and events till 1 September will be cancelled. However, the Centre will begin processing extracts and certificates for internationals in The Hague from now on. Please refer to our revised services for details.

The Centre is only open for confirmed appointments for municipal registrations/BSN.

IND services at the Centre will remain suspended, and we will not be able to issue residence permits or take biometrics.

The IND desk is available for urgent matters by appointment only. You may make an appointment to collect a first regular residence document if you have travelled to the Netherlands with a regular Provisional Residence Permit (mvv). Visit the IND website for the latest update on the impact on IND desks, residence permits and visa.

Schools and childcare centres will remain closed until at least the end of the May school holidays but will be open for children of parents working in vital professions/sectors.

Sports facilities, casinos, amusement arcades and similar establishments remain closed. Businesses in contact-based industries, such as hair salons and beauty parlours must also remain closed.

Events and gatherings which requires a permit are banned until 1 June 2020.

Furthermore, the public is advised to stay home and observe general hygiene such as the washing of hands. More about these measures can be found on the government.nl site.
